Day 195 - Making products based off Google Sheets https://golifelog.com/posts/making-products-based-off-google-sheets-1626230224352
I have a weakness for Google Sheets.
Like today, I was supposed to be doing some marketing for Lifelog, but a fun idea to use Google Sheets as an API for an announcements banner came to me, and I. Just. Had. To. Make. It. And within an hour, the new feature is up. No need to create a new data model or content-type. No backend development required. It’s just so fun and easy to use, as a maker.
Few tools get me this excited and fired up.
Now I’m wondering if I should make an indie product off Google Sheets. Just something that leverages it as a database or CMS. Perhaps I should revive Grublink, a link-in-bio microsite service for F&Bs still at proof-of-concept stage. Or perhaps, I can make a product out of what I just did: announcement banner as a service, via Google Sheets.
So many possibilities, so little time!
